Berkhoff's team is ordered to redeploy to the Army's base near the north pole, but their transport plane goes down on the way. Snipers from the so-called "Gilgamesh Purification Committee" (GPC) demand that the team surrender Godan, who is revealed to be a war criminal named the "Shirasko Reaper." The team work out a way to make the plane launch and deploy their ATs in the process, but not before Godan accidentally kills the co-pilot, a GPC agent who sabotaged the plane's flight controls to make it crash. The team's Scopedogs finally deploy and Godan massacres the GPC snipers before pushing ahead with their trek.
